Education and the Environment are the foundation for successful and healthy children

By Holly J. Mitchell

Education is a critical issue for our young children, as is the environment. We need communities with open green space and clean air and we need schools that can provide quality education in safe environments.

Holly supports bond measures to fund upgrades our neighborhood school infrastructure. Holly supports parcel assessments to help fund cash-strapped school districts that have been hobbled by state budget cuts enacted by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Holly J. Mitchell knows that state and local leaders can work together with business and labor to create jobs and protect the environment at the same time. She knows that our community can't give up clean air and clean water to create new jobs. Holly believes we must demand both + a healthy economy that fosters employment opportunities while protecting our community's environment.

Holly supports the wind-down of the Inglewood Oil Field. She will fight on the side of neighborhood residents who seek to protect the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area Holly supports community residents that have a vision for greater urban open space where thousands of oil derricks now sit. Holly opposes adding more than 1,000 new oil rigs to the Inglewood Oil Field.

Holly wants to develop a comprehensive plan to cleanup 42 toxic Brownfield sites in the 47th Assembly District, and convert those harmful properties to productive use for clean industries that will create `green jobs.'
